HyperVisu KNX Server
HyperVisu is a local KNX visualisation and automation server, available in HOME, PRO, and MAX variants. Control supported building systems from the native iOS or Android app, connect multiple protocols, and run automations on site. An external KNX/IP interface or router connects the server to KNX.
The product
Designed for your installation.
Local visualisation and automation for KNX buildings
HyperVisu brings supported building systems into one app for phones, tablets, and wall panels. Control lighting, blinds, heating, and other connected devices, with the server installed on your local network.
Choose from three variants: HOME with 2 GB RAM, PRO with 4 GB, and MAX with 8 GB. All include 32 GB eMMC storage and the same HyperVisu software features.
Control and monitor your building
Organise devices by room, category, or favourite, and create personal dashboards using Views. Adjust the interface with themes, icons, and background images.
Display solar production, battery charge, grid exchange, and appliance consumption when the connected devices provide those measurements. Historical trends help you review changes over time. Hourly electricity prices are available where a supported data source provides them.
Compatible integrations can also bring alarm controls, cameras, video door entry, and audio into the app. Alarm controls can be protected by a PIN. Available functions depend on the connected equipment and its integration.
Connect systems and automate actions
HyperVisu supports KNX, Modbus TCP, MQTT, BACnet/IP, HTTP, TCP/UDP, and Sonos integrations. The Universal KNX Bridge maps supported device values and commands to KNX group addresses, allowing KNX devices to exchange information with other systems.
Home Assistant, Node-RED, Grafana, and an MQTT broker can run on the same server. Plan memory and processing requirements around the services and integrations used by the project.
Create scenes and automations using schedules, sunrise and sunset, or device values. Function-block logic runs on the server, so configured automation does not require the app to stay open.
Choose the right HyperVisu model
- HOME — 2 GB RAM: For residential projects focused on KNX and other supported protocols, with limited additional services or a small number of Home Assistant integrations.
- PRO — 4 GB RAM: For homes and commercial projects combining KNX with several Home Assistant integrations and additional services.
- MAX — 8 GB RAM: For larger projects and installations with more extensive integration workloads and higher memory requirements.
HOME, PRO, and MAX share the same software features, processor, and storage. They differ in RAM: 2 GB, 4 GB, and 8 GB respectively. Memory capacity is a sizing choice, not a fixed limit on rooms or connected devices.
Installation and access
Connect the server to Ethernet and an external 12–30 VDC power supply. KNX communication requires a compatible KNX/IP interface or router on the network; the server has no direct KNX TP connection.
Configure the project using the ETS import wizard, manual setup, or the ElauPro cloud configurator. The native HyperVisu app connects to the commissioned server. HV-TOUCH-10 and HV-TOUCH-4 panels provide dedicated wall-mounted interfaces.
Local control of locally connected devices runs on site. Remote access uses an encrypted tunnel and requires internet connectivity. Online integrations and services may also require internet access.
Direct KNX functions remain available according to the ETS programming if the server is unavailable. HyperVisu visualisation, server logic, and bridged integrations depend on the server.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which HyperVisu model should I choose?
HOME has 2 GB RAM for residential projects with limited additional integrations. PRO has 4 GB for homes and commercial projects running several integrations and services. MAX has 8 GB for larger projects and more extensive integration workloads. All three variants provide the same software features. Select memory capacity according to the services, integrations, and automation workload.
Do I need a KNX/IP interface?
Yes. HyperVisu connects to KNX through a compatible KNX/IP interface or router on the local network. It does not have a direct KNX TP bus terminal.
Does HyperVisu work without internet access?
Local control of locally connected devices and server-side logic can operate without internet access. Remote access, the ElauPro cloud configurator, and integrations that use online services require connectivity to those services.
Can Home Assistant run on the same server?
Yes. Home Assistant, Node-RED, Grafana, and an MQTT broker can run alongside HyperVisu. The number and type of integrations affect memory and processing requirements.
Can KNX devices control equipment using another protocol?
Yes, where the integration supports the required values and commands. The Universal KNX Bridge maps these to KNX group addresses. Device compatibility and configuration determine which functions are available.
Is a HyperVisu subscription required?
No HyperVisu subscription is required for the app and included remote access. Check the requirements of any third-party services you choose to integrate.
Can I use the app without a server?
No. The native iOS and Android app is a companion to an installed and commissioned HyperVisu server. It can be used on supported phones and tablets, or on HV-TOUCH-10 and HV-TOUCH-4 wall panels.
What happens if the server is unavailable?
KNX functions programmed directly between KNX devices continue according to the ETS project. HyperVisu app access, logic executed on the server, and integrations bridged through it are unavailable until the server is restored.
How is the system configured?
Use the ETS import wizard, manual configuration, or the ElauPro cloud configurator. Integrator tools include a historical KNX bus monitor and remote ETS programming.
